Hybrid
Chapter 1; Regrets
Marie
I made a mistake, about five years ago. Most would say it's the best mistake a woman could make, but not in this scenario. I had a baby, I named him Jay, but see, there's something odd about him. He's half Deathclaw. Yeah I'm sure you can see where that'd be a bit of a problem. The boy looks like Satan himself for Christ's sake! Where did I go wrong? I suppose I could tell that myself, but just know I didn't decide to just jump into bed with a Deathclaw. I had a very potent drug cocktail after agreeing to some science experiment for a large sum of caps. Well, I can't say I really remember what happened after that very well. I don't have the heart to put a round in him to end this, and all the mercs I've hired don't have the balls. He's only five years old and he's already scaring mercs, priests and even raiders away.
Here I am, eighteen years later. He's grown into a man, smarter than your average... Deathclaw, I suppose. Yao Guai are terrified of him now because he's strong enough to throw a full grown one of 'em. Boys horns are as long as my arms and he has claws the length of my foot. Boys proficient enough with a gun or blade. I can't take any of this anymore, not the stress of it. I love that boy with all my heart and he's shown how big his can be, but he can protect himself now. My times up. I made a round out of junk and I'm just gonna use a rusty ol' .32. He'll be sad of course, but this is just what happens in the Wasteland. Maybe he'll make it to Vegas. I told him to pack his bags and head there, should only be a few days trip.
"Goodbye Jay. I love you." I said, pulling the hammer back.
"What mom?" He replied, I squeezed the trigger, and before I realized how stupid I was, everything, was black.
Well. That's the first chapter for you. Oh that whole "long time no chapter" thing? Yeaaaaaah life. Read on guys, it's good to be back.
